Hi,
I need your help on overcoming a difficulty with a 4gb usb pen drive.
Recently I've inserted that USB disk into a Windows XP computer to copy files into. The computer took a loooooong time to install drivers and recognize the pen.
I thought that something wrong was going on, and removed the pen, then reinserted and waited a bit more time (that was when I realized it was taking time installing the drivers).
By the time it finished, I was unable to copy files into the pen and I thought it was somehow from the crappy computer.
Back to my main computer, I realized the USB pen has switched to a read-only mode, and I'm not able to do anything from it.
I've tried in windows diskpart do a "attributes disk clear readonly" and even a "clean all", tried to reformat it, but nothing, I'm still not able to make this usb pen writable. In a linux system, I was not able to solve it either.
Any tips on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.
